This paper argues that China’s internal reform agenda, which is rebalancing the economy for strong, clean and inclusive growth, is strongly linked to its actions in its major trading partner countries, especially those associated with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)<\/path><\/svg><\/a>.<\/p>\n

With China’s influence, both through its powerful international voice and its role as one of the world’s biggest sources of finance, the country’s trading partners are in a good position to embark on cleaner growth that will, in turn, facilitate China’s own domestic rebalancing.<\/p>\n

The authors examine some of the principal elements of a strategy for the BRI that benefits recipient countries and China, and that can also foster environmentally sustainable policies around the world. They review some of the practical aspects of investments in infrastructure in BRI countries and also provide ideas on how China’s own experience and learning can be incorporated into a BRI strategy that aims to foster green investments.<\/p>\n
